Person of interest identified in 1975 disappearance of the Lyon sisters

Police say the person of interest is a convicted child sex offender, who is currently incarcerated. They say he traveled extensively throughout the United States and investigators will be requesting help from the public in gathering information about this person, his associates, and his activities.

Hopefully this will bring closure to the family. I wonder what has lead to this news breaking. This case is one that I have followed closely here I found it difficult to understand how two young people could disappear without a trace.

I think it may be convicted sex offender Fred C based on the information posted by Richard the websleuths member who has posted here but that is just my own opinion. I hope this news reaches all the posters here who care about the case. I hope there is news soon.
